h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

To learn a lot about the care of your Cavy see CavyMadness, a wonderfully well developed site at: http://members.tripod.com/raaberao/cavymadness.html

BTW my guinea pig Willow has her own webpage at: http://web.utk.edu/~bwb/moonscapes/willow.htm

Very nice. Mine was mostly white with a black arse and brown bits in various places and was only half Abyssinian, which made it a little less amusing to look at but still much better than a sleek one. Do you mean to say that yours doesn't like lettuce? Have you tried dandelion leaves? Best not to try these yourself as they apparently act as a laxative.

Our last Guinea pig, Mookie, died from chronic diahrea due to a mineral imbalence so I think we will stray from anything that acts as a laxative.

Mine had vitamin C deficiency for a while after giving birth, which meant that we had to dribble nutrient solutions into her mouth for w while with a syringe. All bald, so she was, though she lived until she was well past five in the end.
